I'll accept the author's word that the term Political Correctness was born in 1923 if he says so. However, the concept of euphemising something unpleasant to make those who partake in it less so goes back at least to the exchange of 'welfare' for 'dole.' Most likely, dole was a polite way of saying something worse at one time itself. Do you think hanging PC on communism is beating a dead, and possible incorrect horse?

No. Cuba and China and North Korea come to mind as does the liberal communist in America.

I thought it was the exchange of 'homeless' for 'bum'.

'Hobos' seem to have disappeared completely.
